Solo Farming In The Tower-Chapter 42Vol 2. : Welcome to the Kindergarten of Destruction! ()

Shhhh.

The rain poured down furiously—strong enough to sting slightly when it hit.

“Alright. There’s a step here—watch your footing.”

Sejun and the others weren’t concerned. Their raincoats and boots were enchanted with waterproofing, temperature regulation, humidity balance, and dozens of other defensive spells—for reasons unknown, but useful nonetheless.

For reference, the infants who couldn’t walk yet—Ppoci and Ddaeddae—were left with Foby. Sejun had considered bringing them in strollers, but since they still couldn’t control their power well, it was too risky.

The other kids, at least, Sejun could manage. Babies, on the other hand, could explode unpredictably at any moment.

Thus, the kids set out from the Kindergarten of Destruction.

“Waaah!”

“Wow!”

They cheered as they stepped out the front door.

Some had been outside once before—but that was during the “escape-from-Aileen’s-food” incident, so they hadn’t really gotten to look around. And now it was raining, so everything felt new again.

Then—

Splat.

Gomgom, who wore a hippo-themed raincoat, tripped over the doorstep while admiring the scenery.

“...”

It didn’t hurt, but my hand got dirty.

Gomgom was mad.

He thought hard about what kind of reaction to have, and decided to try crying first.

“Mm... Waaaah...”

Just as Gomgom’s engine of tears started revving up—

“Huh?!”

Sejun spotted him.

“Gomgom, hush.”

He gently popped something into Gomgom’s mouth and pulled out a tissue to clean his hands.

Though the situation was urgent, Sejun’s manner was calm and composed. Showing panic would only make a child cry harder.

“Mm... huh?!”

Startled by the unexpected move, Gomgom forgot to cry.

What is this?

It’s sweet?

Eyes wide, he rolled the object around in his mouth, trying to identify it.

Cold, hard, and sweet on the outside.

Then, a bite—

Crunch.

The outer shell cracked, and soft sweetness filled his mouth.

“Heehee. Is this a grape can—?”

“Shh. This is a secret between you and your teacher.”

Sejun placed a finger to Gomgom’s lips and winked.

“Okay!”

A secret with teacher!

“Hehehe.”

Delighted, Gomgom crunched up the grape candy and ran off to rejoin the others.

Then—

Splat.

“Waaaah...”

Another child tripped over the threshold.

Sejun rushed over.

“Hush. This is a secret between you and teacher.”

“Okay!”

He repeated what he’d done for Gomgom. As a result, Sejun now shared many “secrets” with the children—but peace on Earth was preserved.

While Sejun pacified the kids by the door—

““Wah!””

Tap tap tap.

““Wah!””

Tap tap tap.

The kids gleefully ran through puddles, splashing water everywhere. But thanks to the enchanted rainwear, no one got wet or cold.

“Okay. That’s enough running—line up behind teacher now!”

““Yes!””

At his command, the children ran over and formed a line behind him, eyes sparkling with anticipation.

It was their first proper outing with Teacher Sejun.

If we follow teacher, fun things will happen, right?

We’ll get to eat yummy stuff too!

Their expectations were sky-high.

“Alright, we’re heading out now. No wandering off—just follow me.”

““Yes!””

The kids shouted in unison. They really did answer well.

Queng!

Kihihit.

Bringing up the rear were Queng and Kkamang, keeping watch for any wandering kids.

Kihihit. Kking! Kking?

[Heheh. Big bro Queng, look! That’s Butler’s mom’s house! Wanna go say hi?]

Queng! Queng!

[No, da-yo! We have to follow Dad, da-yo!]

Strictly speaking, even Kkamang was being managed by Queng.

“Then let’s go.”

““Yes!””

Sejun started walking slowly, and the children trailed behind him like ducklings following their mother.

Soon, as they left the residential area, the rain began to ease.

Shops started appearing nearby.

“Shall we get some ice cream over there?”

Sejun asked.

““Yeeees~!””

The kids answered even more enthusiastically than before.

“Wait here a bit. Teacher will go buy them.”

““Okay~!””

To avoid causing trouble in the store, Sejun planned to go in alone.

But—

“Sejun, can I be the one to place the order?”

Aileen spoke up. All the employees inside were women. She couldn’t allow Sejun to go in alone.

She had read somewhere that, for domestic harmony, it was ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) best to limit contact between your husband and other women as much as possible.

For the record, the book Aileen read came from the Great Black Dragon Library and was over 50,000 years old.

“Think you can handle it?”

“I have to!”

Aileen replied firmly.

“Alright.”

Overwhelmed by her conviction, Sejun handed over his card.

Crunch.

The card crumbled in Aileen’s hand. It couldn’t withstand her strength.

“Ah... sorry.”

Aileen apologized, flustered.

“It’s fine. I should’ve applied a reinforcement spell.”

Sejun consoled her.

In fact, all of Aileen’s belongings were heavily reinforced with top-grade spells—otherwise, even she couldn’t use them more than once or twice.

Of course, only when she tried to restrain her power.

“Iona, reinforce this for me?”

“Kyut kyut kyut. Yes.”

At Sejun’s request, Iona cast high-grade reinforcement spells on a new card, the ice cream shop, and the entire building.

Without it, Aileen might shatter the glass just by opening the door.

The building owner, now possessing a magically reinforced property worth hundreds of millions (by Earth standards), was unknowingly blessed. The only downside: future renovations would be nearly impossible.

Aileen could cast the spell herself, but outside the Kindergarten, the sheer power of her magic would disrupt the area—wiping out, say, all of Hannam-dong.

“I’ll be back soon, Sejun.”

“Okay.”

Aileen, now holding the reinforced card, opened the glass door with uncharacteristic delicacy and stepped inside.

“I’ll take 30 ice creams.”

She ordered at the counter, just as Sejun had taught her.

She’ll be fine... right?

Sejun nervously watched through the window.

Then—

“Huh?”

The employees had started taking photos of Aileen.

“Wait, what?!”

That’s not good!

Sejun moved to intervene.

The mighty Black Dragon’s pride was immense—there’s no way she’d allow mere humans to photograph her...

“Hmm? What’s this?”

Instead, Aileen was striking light poses, allowing the photos.

A little while later—

She emerged from the store, arms full of ice cream.

“Wait, I didn’t see her swipe the card...”

Did she threaten them?

Just as Sejun began to worry—

“Hehehe. Sejun! Those humans were so sweet! They offered ice cream if they could take a photo of the mighty Black Dragon Aileen Pritani! So I let them~!”

Aileen beamed. She’d traded photos for free ice cream.

As expected of my Aileen.

She really paid with her face.

So... does that make it FacePay?

“Hehehe.”

Sejun grinned, impressed by Aileen’s overwhelming beauty.

That’s my girlfriend!

He swelled with pride for a moment—but held it in.

He couldn’t risk getting his face stomped on by the others in the middle of a rainy street.

“Next one’s mine.”

The next shop, a bakery, had only male employees—so Sejun went in.

“That’ll be 205,000 won.”

“Uh... if I let you take my photo, could I maybe get it for free...”

“Excuse me?”

“Never mind. But don’t I get a bonus for buying a lot?”

“Nope.”

He paid full price.

“Okay...”

Tch. What a cruel world.

It wasn’t about the money—it was how glaring the contrast was with Aileen.

After Sejun left—

“He has a wife like that and still asked for a bonus?! How many kids does he have? Raising them must cost a fortune... Should I have given him something? Haa... I’m so jealous...”

The bakery employee stared longingly at Sejun and the group’s retreating figures—words Sejun would’ve loved to hear.

“Daddy, can I try this time?”

At the hotdog stand, Taecho took the card and went inside.

“Hehe. Daddy, the owner said I could have them for free!”

Taecho also got hotdogs for free with FacePay.

“Wow, you’re amazing.”

“Hehe. I’m your daughter, Daddy.”

“Hehehe.”

Sejun beamed.

Tch. Why am I the only one who doesn’t work?

And also sulked.

They stopped by a few more places, picking up snacks and making their way toward Namsan.

As the rain weakened, more people came outside, making it harder to move.

If anyone brushed against one of Sejun’s companions, they’d be lucky to escape without their shoulder being turned to dust.

Not to mention, their group was extremely conspicuous.

Kids in adorable animal raincoats, Theo, Iona, Queng, Kkamang... frёeweɓηovel_coɱ

And finally, the celestial beauty that was Aileen.

“Wow. So cute.”

“Aw, that hamster’s wearing a cat raincoat. Adorable!”

“That’s the one from Stargram! The photos don’t do them justice!”

People stopped just to stare, making the street even more crowded.

I’m here too, you know...

But Sejun was completely ignored. Alone, he might’ve drawn attention—but his companions were just too overwhelming.

Then—

Crash!

A driver who had been watching Aileen caused a car accident, creating further chaos.

“Kkamang, clear a path.”

Kihihit! Kking! Kking!

[Heheh. Trust the great Kkamang! The great Kkamang is coming through! Make way!]

Despite being the weakest in the group, Kkamang charged forward barking, and people—thinking he was just a baby puppy—stepped aside to avoid hurting him.

The group followed Kkamang’s path through the crowd and made it to Namsan.

As they climbed the mountain, they reached a flat clearing.

“Iona, cast some illusion magic around here.”

“Kyut kyut kyut. Yes. Power of magic...”

At Sejun’s request, Iona created a barrier of illusion magic.

Then—

“Alright. Come get one each.”

Sejun pulled out water guns and handed them to the kids. With their raincoats, they had nothing to fear.

“Teacher Sejun, what is this?”

“Hehehe. What’s that? Pull this like this...”

He showed Chacha how to pull the trigger.

“Like this?”

Chacha mimicked him—

Sploosh.

“Urgh!”

Water sprayed straight into Nene’s face.

Pfft. Puhahahaha.

Sejun burst out laughing.

“Eek!”

Drenched, Nene glared and fired back—

“Splash!”

Wait—why me?!

Sejun got shot straight in the face.

“Hmph. You dare attack Sniper Park?! Take this!”

He retaliated.

But—

“Don’t bully Nene!”

“Attack, Teacher!”

Sploosh!

Sploosh!

The kids launched a counterattack, overwhelming him.

“Guys, help me!”

Sejun called for reinforcements.

While they played water gun fights at Namsan—

Shhhh.

The rain began to pour harder, turning into a downpour.

But no one cared.

“Hehehe. Take this! From Sniper Park!”

“Puhuhut! Take this! From Sniper Cat Park, nya!”

Despite the rain falling harder than the water guns could spray, they played on, soaked and laughing.

And as they laughed, the clouds above darkened.

Shadows slowly spread across the entire Earth.
